The bald guy that designs for Apple, sent by Jobs at the request of Harmonix, takes juanvaldez out with a clean, silenced headshot from a small handgun. juanvaldez's dead body slumps over. His right ear falls in precisely the right way, hitting the enter button and submitting his last words post-humously. Jobs, watching from his all-white, ultra-modern high-rise penthouse through Apple's magical new Facetime, lets out the faintest of smiles before turning off the screen of his iPhone 4 and heading upstairs to put his wife and daughter to bed...]]>Jun 11th 2010 2:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/rock-band-3-gets-pro-mode-real-guitar-hybrid-controller-and-k/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/rock-band-3-gets-pro-mode-real-guitar-hybrid-controller-and-k/

Sorry, but the need for some people to direct the lives of others sometimes pisses me off. When I want to play a real guitar I will play one.

Thats my point. There's a huge difference btwn a music game and a FPS. My argument is that this game encroaches so closley on reality that it seems to lose its purpose. Its no longer a game, its almost a simulator

If you're gonna have to learn to play a 17 fret 6 string Rock Band guitar y not learn how to play an actual guitar? For the price they prbly end up charging (i'm guessing around $100) you could buy a cheap guitar (used, pawned, whatever). And you dont need software to learn guitar, pick up a beginners tab book for $5, the learning curve will be the same, it will take just as long to get good at. And I dont need to buy tracks when I already have a computer full of mp3's

Same goes for the drums and the keyboard. If they're gonna make it so close to the real thing that it will be just as hard and take just as long to get good at why not just learn the real thing?]]>Jun 12th 2010 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/rock-band-3-gets-pro-mode-real-guitar-hybrid-controller-and-k/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/rock-band-3-gets-pro-mode-real-guitar-hybrid-controller-and-k/Jun 11th 2010 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/rock-band-3-gets-pro-mode-real-guitar-hybrid-controller-and-k/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/rock-band-3-gets-pro-mode-real-guitar-hybrid-controller-and-k/Jun 11th 2010 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/rock-band-3-gets-pro-mode-real-guitar-hybrid-controller-and-k/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/rock-band-3-gets-pro-mode-real-guitar-hybrid-controller-and-k/
